The Monarchy are responsible for a huge amount of tourism revenue annually, so I'd keep them.

But, I can't stand them. So get rid.

Britain is one of the few major countries that still has a monarchy. I say this country has a fascinating history behind the monarchy, and long may that continue.
Yes, the monarchy makes a fair bit of bob from TV revenue, but more importantly, a bill cannot actually be passed without consent from the queen. Also, the monarchy is one of the reasons that throughout history, this country has been fairly safe from attack, because of strong leadership, or at least a facade of strong leadership.

Get rid of them. They serve no purpose, and they're a disfunctional bunch of misfits.

It does, the Queens the head of the United Kingdon you dosy pratt.

I'll keep the monarchy i like them, they bring awful lot off money into this country through tourism and us having Queen sets us apart it's our heritage and culture we'd lose by losing the Queen & Monarchy.

Do you really want to live in a country with politicans as heads of state, like America. No way No republic.

I would never expect the Vatican to get rid of the Pope...So leave the Queen alone.

I'm actively disinterested (if that's possible) in them. They cost me about 40p a year, so sod it.

President Mandelson?
President Branson?
President Cowell?

I think not.
